We made the CharlotteFive 2017 Bucket List! Described as the “Uptown Museum Trifecta”, making a visit to the Gantt, Mint and Bechtler Museums ranked #5 on this year’s list of things to do in Charlotte:

“(5) Visit the Uptown Museum Trifecta: Gantt, Bechtler and Mint.

Charlotte has some of the Southeast’s top museums and you’re officially out of excuses for having not already paid them a visit. Plus, it’s easy to make these museums extra fun. Check out the Gantt After Dark series with its rooftop DJ, or Jazz at the Bechtler featuring drinks and music alongside its modern art. And on Wednesday nights the Mint is free, so stop by for a peek of its latest exhibit. Pro tip: For bonus cultural points, pay a visit to other top Uptown museums like Discovery Place and the Levine Museum of the New South.”
